The MTA has added benches at Grand Central Madison after complaints that the gleaming new terminal had nowhere to sit.
The transit agency said Friday that it had added 28 seats on 14 benches made of “die-cast aluminum” on the terminal’s mezzanine level near a set of escalators taking riders up to tracks 201 and 202 and down to tracks 301 and 302.opened last year to great fanfare . It became the first major new train terminal to open in the United States in 70 years, the MTA says.

It took about 25 years to complete and ballooned in cost to over $11 billion, making it one of the most expensive infrastructure projects in US history.Critics blasted it as the latest example of “hostile architecture” intended to keep the homeless out of public spaces.
